Guide to Generating BMW NBT & CIC FSC Code: Essential Tools & Steps

If you're diving into the realm of BMW coding and programming, you'll come across the need to generate FSC codes, particularly for the NBT & CIC systems. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you through this process.
Essential Tools for FSC Code Generation:

Laptop with E-sys installed: Get the BMW E-sys Free Download.
BMW ENET Cable: Ensure it's compatible with your model.
FSC Code Generator Software: The heart of this process.

Step-by-Step Guide:1. Extracting the DE or 1B FileInitiate E-sys, and ensure it connects to your car using your VIN. Navigate to the FSC Extended option in the vertical menu.

For NBT (DE File):
- Diagnostic Address(hex) = 0x63
- Click on 'Identify'. You'll see 'Base variant HU_NBT' appearing.
- Application ID for NBT = 0xDE
- Upgrade Index = 0x1
For CIC (1B File):
- Diagnostic Address(hex) = 0x63
- Click on 'Identify'. The 'Base variant HU_CIC' should now populate.
- Application ID for NBT = 0x1B
- Upgrade Index = 0x1

In the 'Action' section, choose 'Store FSC', move it to the right, click 'Read', and save the file using the format: fsc_XXXXXXX, with XXXXXXX being the last seven characters of your VIN or donor NBT VIN.
[Note]: You can disconnect E-sys now. The next steps can be done offline.
2. Setting Up the Code Generation Software

Extract the provided directory. It can be placed and run from any location.

Generating the FSC code for NBT:

Move 'fsc.exe' from the NBT_FSC directory to the tools directory.
Place your 'XXXXXXX.fsc' in the tools directory (where 'Base64.exe' is).
Open a command prompt, navigate to the tools directory, and type “Base64 XXXXXXX.FSC XXXXXXX_000DE001.FSC”. Press enter.
Launch 'BMW FSC NBT Generator.exe', select the generated file, choose your map product, and click “Generate”.

Generating the FSC code for CIC:

Transfer 'fsc.exe' from the CIC_FSC directory to the tools directory.
Follow steps 2-4 from the NBT generation process, but for CIC specifics.
